A friend sent this to me today. He said it was taken recently near a local mine.

is that a bobcat or a Lynx? not gonna claim to have seen many Bobcat's, but that thing looks huge compared to anything i've ever seen.
 
It is big. But I'm sure it's a Bobcat.

In the last picture on you can see the banding on the tail plus the smaller tuffs on it's ears. Lynx don't have banded tails and have longer tuffs.



Here's a picture of a lynx:

I looked it up and they do inter-breed where their territories overlap. They are called Blynx or LynxCat's...no kidding...did a google search...JohnnyK.
 
That is a huge tom bobcat!!! A lynx is actually lighter than a bobcat in there build, they are real thin and lanky, but Bobs are stouter, shorter with a worse attitude. He's likely to push the 50-60lb range.
I have had to release a couple cats in that size range they are impresive there front legs are the size of your arms, they will tear you up if you don't fling and run! I would rather tangle with a MT lion than that dude any day of the week!!
Real cool pic !!! :D
 
That is one big ...... bobcat!!!
I just killed one 3 weeks ago, but it wasnt half the size of that one.
Nice looking cat in a bad attitude.
Thanks for sharing.
 
Doesn't look to happy. Looks like this took place right in the middle of a road as it looks to be a guardrail in 1 of the photos.
